    They can be quite poxy depending on the rim, we use a bead cheater which dumps a massive amount of air into the tyre in one hit from the edge of the rim rather than through the valve

    I've seen the reverse back in the 70's

    A PA Vauxhall with stock 4.5" rims.

    And 215 X 13" Cavalinnos squished onto them.

    that stretching a tyre onto a rim is about the stupidest thing Ive ever seen.

    I despair for humanity some days.

    Do drift car people actually do that as well? if so, why?

    (by the way, drifting is not motorport. apart frombeing incredibly lame, if you get "Style points" its not racing.) Sure the guys have got decent car control skills, but if you want to get sideways, go rallying.
